Denial is our blind spots...everyone has blind spots. Not just addicted people. Blind spots are places where we are not yet aware-we are like flowers, waking up in spring. Our consciousness is awakening, and we are becoming aware, it doe not happen all at once. Thus we have blind spots where we are in denial.
It is common for an addict to be in denial about their using...not because they are trying to be sneaky or anything else, simply because they have no awareness about it...yet:-)
Just like someone who may perhaps be the biggest b*t&* on the planet, yet her own perception may be that she is kind and considerate. She can truly believe herself to be something that no one else experiences except her:-)
It is a human trait! Because we have ego, and ego loves to lie to all of us and make up stories to keep us "safe". Ego is what makes sense of the world around us.
